Goin' on a Blog Hunt!

Now that Google Reader is gone, you're probably looking for another way to organize and manage the blogs you follow. A few days ago I started using BlogLovin ... and I'm lovin' it! It's easy to set up a free account and follow your favorite blogs.

If you weren't able to import your favorite blogs from Google Reader, you're probably scrambling to track down them down now. I'm also guessing you'd love to find some new blogs to follow, too. That's why I want to take you on a Blog Hunt!

As soon as I thought of the idea, I remembered the book I read over and over to my own children. "We're going on a bear hunt, we're going on a bear hunt. Gonna catch a big one, gonna catch a big one .... we're not scared!" Does that bring back any memories? But this time we're goin' on a Blog Hunt ... click the links to the teacher blogs below to find some great ones! Don't be scared! :-)

I've just started using BlogLovin, but I already love being able to keep up with my favorite blogs easily, both on the computer and on my iPad. I also love how BlogLovin sends me an email each day with a feed of all the blogs I follow.

If you would like to follow Corkboard Connections on BlogLovin, just click the link below. It's that easy! I love sharing teaching strategies and freebies, and one of the best ways to stay in touch is to follow my blog.

Summer is a great time to explore the wonderful world of teacher blogs, so check out the blogs below and find some new favorites! By the way, I want to give a shout out to Melissa Mazur of Common Core and So Much More for the cute BlogLov' sign up icon! Thanks Melissa!

Note: When you attempt to click on the images below, you may find that the Pinterest logo pops up. Just click on the upper left corner of the image to go to the blog.

Thanks so much for putting together such a fabulous linky! I tried linking up and it doesn't look as if it is appearing on the list? I tried to re-do it and it says it is posted? Maybe it is still needing to be approved :)? Hope to link up :)!KathleenK-3 Kathleen

Sorry everyone! The whole thing got completely out of hand and I've had to close it for now. I have 50 blog posts to check before they are added, and it will take me awhile to get to them. I was planning to stop at 100 so it might be that some of those submitted won't actually get posted. I'm doing my best!

Love the idea and the amount of blogs linked here. Definitely a few new ones to be checking out. I've had you in my reader for a while now, so it was funny to read you had never used one. Glad you're finding out how convenient they make keeping up. I've decided Feedly works best for me, but know many that are also using bloglovin'.Happy following!

We are two secondary teachers who are providing creative, engaging ideas and resources for the English Language Arts classroom. Elementary teachers can't have all the fun! Please check us out to see what could work in your classroom and share with your favorite HS/MS English teacher.

I'm new to the blogging world and this is a wonderful, but somewhat overwhelming list... I would love to have a blog "hunt" organized by grade levels or subjects or even one specific to NC educators!Thanks so much!Science is Inquisitive

I agree Megan! That whole project got way out of control! If I had to do it over again I would have tried to organize it in some way. You can find links to some of my personal favorites in the sidebar of my blog. Are you a NC blogger? I am a part of a NC Facebook group for bloggers called Carolina Bloggers. We aren't real active, but most of us are going to the Elementary School Conference in Greensboro and we are doing some sessions together. If you are interested in finding out more, leave your email address here and I'll contact you.

Thanks Laura! I finally remembered to check back and I think I figured out that whole "no-reply" blogger thing so people can actually contact me! I am an NC blogger, here: Science is Inquisitive It seems like there is a great community of us! I'll have to check out the facebook group.I also found this site which has some awesome blogs linked up by state, so I wanted to share: Fifth in the Middle
